A terribly unfunny insulting film that embarrasses Landau and Berry, who have both been better. I hope their salaries for this film were astronomical because no self-respecting actor in their right mind would sign on for this film. There are poor and hungry people on our streets, yet somehow a movie like BAPS gets made with a budget of probably several million dollars. Something is wrong with this picture.

There are no words... If this forum supported HTML I'd upload an image of a pool of vomit. And let that be the review.

And I luvz me a good, dumb-ass, mindless comedy ala "Scary Movie" or "Romy & Michele"...but this... it's just plain not funny. At all. Not once. Not even one good chuckle.

But I brought this torture upon myself because I knew Robert Townsend was the director *before* I shelled out my $9 to see it (I enter a plea of temporary insanity). And Mr. Townsend's movies have been as consistently amusing as an acute case of recurring anal-warts. I'm not at all sure how his career made it past the ultimately un-interesting rice-cake called "Hollywood Shuffle", and led to the opportunity for him to inflict "B.A.P.S." upon us... but *someone* in Hollywood thinks this man is funny. Probably the same guy who keeps giving Byron Allen & Alfonso Ribiero new projects to be sucky on.

This dreck is not "so dumb it's funny", it's just dumb-da-dumb-dum-dum. There's potential aplenty but every last intended joke falls a city block short of the target, and "B.A.P.S." owns the distinction of being one of only 3 movies I actually walked, no, make that RAN out of... "Grease 2" & "Johnny Mnemonic" being the others.

So there you go...

I'm sorry, I have passed by this film for over 4 years now, and now I understand why. It was recently on TV and I was obviously bored and had nothing to do and somehow managed to sit through it. It actually was painful to watch. It has no redeeming value and was not funny in the least. About the only semi-funny scene was in the bathroom. As far as a deeper meaning, please, this film was horrid. If I had let another 4 years go by, my life would probably be better off. What a waste of a beauty in Halle, and the talent of Martin.

What does the 'S' stand for in B*A*P*S? That's what I thought. Maybe I'll take a stab at it: Black American Princess Ss, Black American Princesses S, Black American Princesses Scesses, Black American Prin Sesses, Black American Princesses SomeOtherWord, Black American Princesses SmorePrincesses, Black American Princesses SouthWestAirlines, Black American Princesses Skype, Black American Princesses ShawshankRedemption, Black American Princesses Shakaka, Black American Princesses SHI-CA-GO!
